I thought I would share this to everyone. Im officially half way through remastering Invasion America. This is from my super vhs tapes recorded through satellite back when it aired in 1998. This is the 6 part mini series not the version where it was split into 13 episodes. This has been a massive project and i am finally happy to reveal some screenshots on how it looks so far. Im currently cleaning up the audio on the the last 2 episodes and finallying going through the ai upscaling process with starlight precise 2.5. Then onto fixing the saturation and colors after the first render. I had to go frame by frame for each episode to clean up all the source video issues from color correct to removing or replacing frames that has ghost/halo effect and many other things. My goal is to be done before Christmas but might be end of summer or early fall depends. The hardest parts are done and this is a final shot from episode 2 of the series with the color correcting etc.

This is a complete blind grab and I thought you guys would find it interesting. I was scrolling Ebay one day, (Dutch eBay) trying to find copies of Tom Six’s complete filmography that isn’t the Human Centipede trilogy. Had no luck with those whatsoever (so if you have access to them, please reach out, I will literally pay for just the .ISO if you have access to them).

I came across two very strange DVDs. Bold Impact font just stating it was a set of movies called Local Velvet and Superstars in Chains. They both starred some incredibly well known actors. Tom Kenny, Harry Dean Staton, Robert Rodriguez. Listed at like 100$ each so I just bite the bullet and bought them. I’ve bought some stuff like this off Ebay before thinking it was some obscure thing but it ended up being some companies SOV passion project etc.

I got them both. Watched the one supposedly with Tom Kenny in there. They got me in the beginning because they showed a PICTURE of Tom Kenny and thought they were just gonna use that for the credit. But they legitimately got Tom Kenny to do an actual segment in here. A piece of Kenny’s history I’m not even sure he remembers being apart of finally found and uploaded. It’s a fun little movie shot in 90s Texas.

I’ll be uploading the dvd itself to the archive at some point, just wanted to share this with anyone who finds stuff like this interesting. You literally never know how much media is out there unless continuously search for it.
